Beschreibung

We are an irish family living in a little seaside village in east cork called Ballycotton. We have two girls aged 7 and 9. My husband (who's French) works for an indian spice company and I'm a teacher in a local school. We are looking for someone warm and friendly to be part of our family. As the girls come to school with me we just need some help after we leave and a little help in the evenings.

Clotilde was a pleasure to have in our house. She was very happy and friendly and always willing to help out. She was very kind to our girls and also the pets!! We miss having you in the house Clotilde but looking forward to seeing you soon.

So sad to go back home after having been with Nessa, Leo and the girls (never forget the pets as well =)), it was a fabulous first workaway experience and I enjoyed so much living in Ballycotton with this family! Thank you to each of you, to make me being safe home, giving me some advice for cooking (can't forget the bûche de Noël and the gnocchis… read more of Leo, yummy!) and being so kind to me all the time. We had great fun with Mia, Lucie and the cute dog Trudy on the beach. This village is absolutely perfect if you love nature and going for a walk on the cliffs! Irish pubs are very welcoming, lots of au pairs are gathering there.
Everyday, a few hours of cleaning (2 hours ish) are needed and then time off. Sometimes I minded the girls a little bit in the evening, they're rather quiet, happy, and lovely! I loved having little sisters for a while.
Merry Christmas all, you're a gorgeous family, hope to see you very soon! Je vous embrasse très fort ! :-)

Thank you Alexis for staying with us. We absolutely adored you, and so were Mia and Lulu (and the cats!). You didn’t just do great work in the house, you also were a great person to be around. We felt we made a friend and would love to see again soon. Best of luck in your travels!! xxx

This was my first experience with Workawayer and it couldn't be better!
I stayed one month by Nessa and Leo's house.
Mia (7 years old) and Lucie (5 years old) are lovely, sweet, full of happiness and energy! They have plenty of ideas to have fun with you all day long.
The three cats are independent and need only to be feeded 3 times per day.
Daily… read more tasks are easy to be done and well explained: prepare the breakfast for the girls, sort out, clean the rooms, do the laundry, tidy up the kitchen...
You have your own room, with a very comfy king-size bed and a closet. You share one bathroom essentially with the two girls. They provide you all the meals: if you are hungry you can open the fridge and help yourself, while the kitchen is full with any kind of food. Wifi connection is fantastic, 24/24, 7/7. They have Netflix as well.
There is a small shop, not far from their house, and some pubs reachable on foot.
Ballycotton has really great sceneries and beautiful cliff walks: you will surely love the landscape.
Nessa and Leo are fantastic cookers, very nice people, easy going and open minded, as well as generous and warm-hearted. They are amazing people, who really made me feel at home, part of their family, and comfortable from the first second! They are the example of true love and respect for each other that is really inspiring and worth to learn.
Thank you so much for such a lovely first Workawayer experience. This month broaden my mind and my heart...
I'd highly recommend anyone to try and spend some time here with this amazing family: they are waiting for you with open arms!
